And it did. Inner
City Press live tweeted the
opening and first two
witnesses, an FBI agent about
the Greenwich search, and a
Dallas based Lamborghini
dealer, thread here.
On May 28 the US
moved for admission of posts
from GNews and GETTR, 5 page
motion on Patreon here
Later on May 28,
Guo's counsel at Alston &
Bird opposed the GNews
exhibits, noting that
"articles posted on GNews are
at least two layers removed
from any of Mr. Guo’s alleged
statements... GXC373 purports
to be an English transcript of
an interview of government
witness Jesse Brown, which
contains no statements
attributed to Mr. Guo.
Although the government has
withdrawn its request as to
certain videos of individuals
other than Mr. Guo, the
government continues to seek
to introduce purported
transcripts that have no
apparent nexus to Mr. Guo" -
